Abstract

Impaction of the third molar is relatively frequent in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and its removal is a usual operation with mostly unremarkable outcome. We report a case of bleeding that occurred after a left upper third molar extraction, which necessitated in emergency an angiography with embolization.
